google search results

lol those times are the database lookup times.

Good analysis polkoi. Rebecca just isn't interesting enough to talk about, except how poor she is at singing.

I think polkoi's humour threads are much better.

Oh, wait a minute

I will do further analasys tomorrow

see if there are some trends

I will send you the results first by PM george 

Then post it here for all the kids to fawn over me and tell me how clever I am

Trends?

Now you're speaking polkoi.

Can you put me on your mailing list too?

Trends are the new stats

Wonder how many results Diane Vickers would have generated?

Actually I'm not cynical re this and welcome any new stats angle especially those that pick up on trends/momentum.

Can anyone beat Take That?

About 1,430,000,000 results (0.07 seconds)

They're bigger than Elvis and The Beatles oombined

Elvis - About 20,100,000 results (0.06 seconds)

Beatles - About 90,900,000 results (0.06 seconds)

Tits are more popular than fanny

Tits - About 62,900,000 results (0.07 seconds)

Fanny - About 19,400,000 results (0.06 seconds)

Bum more popular than fanny

Bum - About 22,800,000 results (0.06 seconds)

one direction x factor About 6,880,000 results (0.14 seconds) Ok 5 young boys and and lots of photo's and comments about them as individuals will also contribute to their research results

Matt cardle x factor About 2,790,000 results (0.07 seconds) Remember that every mention of Matt Cardle on a forum will return as one result so Lou is actually responsible for half that total

cher lloyd x factor About 997,000 results (0.11 seconds) Actually thought she would be higher with all the initial fuss about her

katie waissel x factor About 1,420,000 results (0.08 seconds) Courted all the controversy and loads of newspaper and forum mentions so you expect a lot of mentions.

mary byrne x factor About 211,000 results (0.20 seconds) Marys fans mostly wont be on the net creating a cyber trail of search results

Rebecca fergusson x factor About 342,000 results (0.07 seconds) You would have thought she would be higher but apart from mary and 1d then she has created no negative media.


Worth noting that half of these hits or maybe even more will be negative stuff for some of the contestants.

figgy's twiiter stats - About 57,700 results (0.14 seconds)

polkoi's google stats - 5 results (0.30 seconds)

Thats not our GeorgeBrush, that one has a job! [;)]

He's well positioned to sue me

I cant believe you actually googled figgy's twiiter stats

I have gone up to 8

momentum is all with me and momentum is all important, as you well know

I shall retire to bed and leave figgy to ponder where it all went wrong 

I'd never know I was beaten, that's for sure

You'd be working for the defence and prosecution GB

He'd be paying his entire earnings for the rest of his life Figgy!

wet your lettuce About - 176,000 results (0.16 seconds)

This is fun

Funnily enough, although I don't want to enter into a personal argument, I don't think that what Polkoi has posted are irrelevant
The problem with people who use stats/trends/polls is that they tend to ignore the ones that don't fit their argument and promote the ones that do. The simple fact is that nobody is doubting Rebecca's vocal ability, but a few of us question whether she has star quality/the X-Factor. I'm green on the girl, but compared to One Direction and Matt she just isn't cutting the mustard in terms of Google searches (I can't be bothered to see if Polkoi's figures are genuine - but am assuming they are). As for the 'negative publicity' argument, I'm not really sure that apart from Katie & Cher there has been that much negitive publicity about OD or Matt.
In short, unless someone can tell me why Google searches aren't relevant, I'm inclined to give them the benefit of doubt.
